there's some pretty good "southern" food in NY. You've got vaguely Carolina style bbq at Brother Jimmie's. Better Carolina and other style bbq at Virgil's. A pretty good approximation of TX style at Hill Country. Some good creole stuff at Back Forty.
You've got more "soul" stuff in the east village at Birdies, Mama's, and a couple other places. Then you've got a ton of options in Harlem & Brooklyn, so yes, there's southern/soul food in NYC.
